It has been nearly fifteen years since the war between the orcs and humans ended. An uneasy peace settled over the land while, for years, the drums of war were silent. Yet the kingdoms of men grew complacent in their victory - and slowly, the defeated orcish clans regrouped under the banner of a new visionary leader.
Now a darker shadow has fallen over the world, threatening to extinguish all life - all hope. The drums of war play upon the winds once again - rising urgently towards the inevitable hour when the skies will rain fire - and the world will tremble before the coming of the Burning Legion.
The Day of Judgment has come...

The reclusive Night Elves were the first race to awaken in the World of Warcraft. These shadowy, immortal beings were the first to study magic and let it loose throughout the world nearly ten thousand years before Warcraft I. The Night Elves' reckless use of magic drew the Burning Legion into the world and led to a catastrophic war between the two titanic races. The Night Elves barely managed to banish the Legion from the world, but their wondrous homeland was shattered and drowned by the sea. Ever since, the Night Elves refused to use magic for fear that the dreaded Legion would return. The Night Elves closed themselves off from the rest of the world and remained hidden atop their holy mountain of Hyjal for many thousands of years. As a race, Night Elves are typically honorable and just, but they are very distrusting of the 'lesser races' of the world. They are nocturnal by nature and their shadowy powers often elicit the same distrust that they have for their mortal neighbors.

The horrifying Undead army called the Scourge consists of thousands of walking corpses, disembodied spirits, damned mortal men and insidious extra-dimensional entities. The Scourge was created by the Burning Legion for the sole purpose of sewing terror across the world in anticipation of the Legion's inevitable invasion. The Undead are ruled by Ner'zhul, the Lich King, who lords over the icy realm of Northrend from his frozen throne. Ner'zhul commands the terrible plague of undeath which he sends ever southward into the human lands. As the plague encroaches on the southlands, more and more humans fall prey to Ner'zhul's mental control and life-draining sickness every day. In this way, Ner'zhul has swelled the ranks of the already considerable Scourge. Though Ner'zhul and his Undead Scourge are bound to the will of the Burning Legion, the Lich King constantly strives to free himself and gain vengeance upon the demons for damning him so completely.

Where can I report corrections, spelling, grammar, or problems with the Warcraft III Strategy Guide?
We are glad to get your help on our guide. But we ask that you follow some rules. This will ensure that our time is not wasted investigating bogus or wrong reports.
- Include your nickname when reporting errors just in case it's added to the credit page.
- When reporting problems, please be sure to list the link or URL of the page with the problem, the problem sentence (so we can search for it), and your suggested change (reworded sentence) or the error in the sentence by using bold, colors, underline, or list it below the sentence . It's sometimes hard to pick the error out if you do not tell us what it is. We're not English majors, but are instead programmers =) If the error is just one word you can point out just that word.
Here is an example of a perfect report from our Editing Knight Dengin: http://www.battle.net/war3/basics/unitcontrol.shtml
Have As Many Units As Possible Attacking The Same Enemy
If a unit cannot easily **reach a target the preferred target**, instruct it to attack the nearest enemy
correction: If a unit cannot easily **reach the preferred target**, instruct it to attack the nearest enemy Mojo Comments: The link is listed; the sentence is listed for easy searching through our files; the error is pointed out; and the correction is listed. Note: our email system only allows plain text so any underlining, colors, or other HTML supported features will not work. Please use characters such as *** to point out errors. Basically cut and paste the URL (hit Enter after the URL to make it a link) along with the sentence you're reporting (unless it's something like item stats), and include your screenshot (if items or stats, etc). Note: you have to press Enter after pasting the link for it to be a link (typically).
- This strategy guide is for Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne Only . Stats may differ from Warcraft III: The Reign of Chaos. If you're reporting errors in the guide you must be using Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. Make sure you are using the 1.10 version or higher of the game.
- Please check the current version of the site for the errors and do not report errors from pages that you have saved to your hard drive. These pages are outdated and the mistakes you report might already be fixed.
- Please send one email per web page you're reporting rather than one long email with tons of page changes. So if you find a bunch of errors on one page, send one email with a link and the errors on that page. If there are multiple errors on one page, you may include them all in one email. If you have another page to report, send a new email.
- Please do not report errors unless you are sure you are right . Submit evidence (screenshots) if possible if the information in game conflicts with the guide. Error reports without screenshots may be ignored. This is not necessary if there is a clear typo, spelling mistake or so on with the guide. This is only necessary if you are saying that the game says one thing while the Warcraft III Guide says another. You do not need to send us screenshots of our own web site. Just send us the link or URL and the problem sentence and suggested change.
- Please use the link at the bottom of this page to report errors rather than responding to our emails or manually putting in our email address. This allows us to filter mail to the proper place.
- If you have a display problem, list your Browser name and version.
- Make sure you include a URL to the page with the problem. We don't have time for an investigation to discover the page you're trying to talk about.
- Please do not post Warcraft III Strategy Guide feedback/errors to the forums. Your post may be missed and web errors have no place on the forums. If you report via the below link your emails will be seen.
- "Nit-picking Issues:" We don't mind receiving "nit-picking issues", especially if they are grammar or spelling-related, but we may not have time to change things if they really don't need to be changed.
- Please don't use that "first paragraph, third sentence, third word" standard editor way of reporting errors. We don't like it =) If you include the sentence (cut and paste) we can find it much faster. Sometimes our pages are made up of multiple pages being loaded into one page which makes finding errors more difficult using the "first paragraph, third sentence, third word" method.
